is Canon going to be changing the color of the AF points from black on the 1D X? Is that why it's delayed? The black AF points are annoying as hell, and I'm not sure if a simple firmware update can fix it or not.

FYI - the firmware update will not load properly if you have a second card inserted and the camera setting is set to read to both cards. Remove the second card or set the camera to only read to the card with the update on it for the firmware installation to complete. Cheers.

So what is the general recommendation if shooting RAW. Do vignetting and chromatic aberration correction with the built-infunctions of the 5D3? or do everything in post processing? What about sharpening too?

I'm not sure if this was present before the new firmware but I've only noticed this after updating to the new firmware. When using Orientation linked AF point, for example if I select 'Manual Selection: 1 pt AF', turn the camera to shoot a portrait and select a point in the corner then change to 'Expand AF area', turn the camera to shoot a portrait it will go back to the same point but in 'Manual selection: 1 pt AF' even though I've changed to 'Expand AF area'.I've tried to explain this as simple as I can, hope someone understands what I'm trying to say. And just want to know has it always been that way?

The camera saves your AF settings for each orientation it is in (3 of them all). So, if I have single AF point in Portrait Left but AF expansion in Landscape it keeps them while turning the device. The Pre-selected point keeps the selection of the main point, i.e. if main is expanded then the pre-selected is expanded too and vice versa. At least this is what mine does before updating. I won't update the firmware this time as there is no point of doing it if I don't own the 40 and operate in English.
